Cause and Effect.
The cause: Siah. And her little teeth.
The effect:
Busted Charlene and High Bloodsugar Reading.
And I'm actually surprised it's taken this long to happen.

About Me

My name is Kerri and I'm a health blogger and diabetes advocate at Six Until Me. The internet brings me joy, but I also have a deep appreciation for The Real World and spend as much time there as possible. My Family Ties are strong, I deal with the Facts of Life, and I wasn't born with Silver Spoons in my mouth. But I like old tv shows and I love a well-placed pun.
Please visit my new blog over at Six Until Me. (unless you're checking out the archives here, and then, by all means.

Kerri-
First - Your last post was scary because it reminded me of my worst low to date. It also occurred in the shower after a workout and me not understanding what was going on until I was pretty low. Luckily my roommates were there and swooped in with the juice as I stepped out of the bathroom in my robe and just said "juice. juice please," and sat down on the floor. Glad you're okay.
Second - What did your cat do!? Just bite through the tubing?

Tek,
The little rat bastard chewing through the tubing. But she couldn't have just nipped at it to sever it. No. She latched on to the site itself and pulled that off, too.
Maybe she's trying to kill me.
I think I'll sleep with the bedroom door closed until she gets a little older.
I am definitely a "cat person," but-- Dang!
Bad kitty. Very, very bad.
I think separate sleeping quarters is a very GOOD idea.
Ooooh, I hope that's not too expensive to replace! My dogs use to chew a lot but fortunately they outgrew that habit as they got older. I still feel a mild flutter of anger when I recall all the nice leather bags & belts they ruined.
It's funny you should post this. My mother-in-law is hooked up to oxygen and has a tube trailing her contantly. When she was first hooked up, the doctor told her to watch her cat because they like to chew the tubing (which is basically a wider and longer version of the tubing on the infusion set). For some reason, cats love plastic tubing.
Maybe you can tape the tubing to your skin so that it doesn't stick out?
One more thing to worry about, right?
It is NOT funny that your kitty destroyed a perfectly good infusion set and gave you a 249.
It IS funny that you photographed the whole business and put it up on the Internet.
In fact, it's very funny. You go, K.
Cause...LOw Mommy
Effect...Flying Siah...
It would probably be worse if your cat wasn't so cute!
Oh man. I feel your pain, boy do I ever (puppy, kitten & an older cat in my case! Some ppl...err ppl's animals...never learn!)
Once they get a taste of it, they never go back. It's off to the IAA (Insulin Addicts Anonymous) for Siah now...
She sure is a nice looking cat though! :)
